Project Title Woodside - Interactive Exploration of LNG Plant Layout in 3D: Measuring distances Project start date June 24th - 1st July Project duration 4 weeks Payment per week $500 Pre-requisite units, degree or experience JavaScript programming skills necessary. Ideally experience with 3D graphics, 3D software, or 3D mathematics. Extra information for students We have an exciting research collaboration with Woodside Energy that involves optimising the layout of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production plant. AAs part of the project, we developed 1) a 2D interface to create and manage topological models in form of process flow diagrams, 2) an optimisation and rendering backend, and 3) a 3D visualisation platform to inspect and explore the final optimised layout. We use X3D to describe the model and X3DOM to visualise the X3D in SAGE2 running in the browser as well as to interact with the model. The 2D interface and the 3D viewer are linked via websockets to exchange selection information. For this winter project, we would like to provide an interactive exploration of the model including a smart measuring tape to measure distances between equipment and pipes.

For this winter project, we would like to improve the exploration experience of the 3D viewer to support a smart way to focus on elements such as equipment and pipes, altering the view to show those items (selected via the 2D or 3D interface).
